Shooting skill

★ When shooting close-ups, it is important to check the edges in the picture to ensure that the ears, beards or horns of the animals are not cut off.

★ Shooting in aperture priority mode allows you to control the clarity of the background, pay attention to the shutter speed and be ready to increase the sensitivity at any time to make up for the lack of ambient light.

★ Don't feel compelled to shoot an animal that is completely full of pictures. Sometimes it is more meaningful to show the environment in which animals live.

How to take pictures of animals

Are you a' novice' in this kind of photography? Let's start here!

Before you start to try your creative skills, please sort out the basic shooting knowledge. If you want to shoot wild animals, telephoto lens is essential. If you want to shoot birds, then you need a rangefinder. It is more important to know the habits of animals. Starting from your side, photograph your pet or other animals that are extremely accessible, such as farm animals, zoo animals or birds in the garden.

1, set your camera to the fastest continuous shooting mode, and quickly continuous shooting when the picture climax comes. Knowing the habits and behavior patterns of animals will help you predict the wonderful moments in advance.

2. Pay attention to the background that is too dark or too bright, because this may lead to shooting failure. Shoot in RAW format, so that you can leave more room for manoeuvre when you use software to improve your exposure later.

3. If you plan to shoot very active animals, it is recommended to set the camera to continuous autofocus mode and capture its motion by panning. Take experimental shooting and gradually increase the shutter speed from slow shutter speed.

4. Animal portraits and portrait photos are taken in the same way. Shoot a position level with their eyes and manually select an autofocus point. Pay attention to their eyes, not their noses.
